AWK is a domain-specific language designed for text processing and used as a data extraction and reporting tool. It is a standard feature of most Unix-like operating systems; the AWK language is a data-driven scripting language consisting of a set of actions to be taken against streams of textual data – either run directly on files or used as part of a pipeline – for purposes of extracting or transforming text, such as producing formatted reports. The language extensively uses the string datatype, associative arrays, regular expressions. While AWK has a limited intended application domain and was designed to support one-liner programs, the language is Turing-complete, the early Bell Labs users of AWK wrote well-structured large AWK programs. AWK was created at Bell Labs in the 1970s, its name is derived from the surnames of its authors: Alfred Aho, Peter Weinberger, Brian Kernighan; the acronym is pronounced the same as the bird auk, on the cover of The AWK Programming Language. When written in all lowercase letters, as awk, it refers to the Unix or Plan 9 program that runs scripts written in the AWK programming language.
AWK was developed in 1977 by Alfred Aho, Peter J. Weinberger, Brian Kernighan, from whose initials the language takes its name. According to Kernighan, one of the goals of AWK was to have a tool that would manipulate both numbers and strings. AWK was inspired by Marc Rochkind's programming language, used to search for patterns in input data, was implemented using yacc; as one of the early tools to appear in Version 7 Unix, AWK added computational features to a Unix pipeline besides the Bourne shell, the only scripting language available in a standard Unix environment. It is one of the mandatory utilities of the Single UNIX Specification, is required by the Linux Standard Base specification. AWK was revised and expanded in 1985–88, resulting in the GNU AWK implementation written by Paul Rubin, Jay Fenlason, Richard Stallman, released in 1988. GNU AWK may be the most deployed version because it is included with GNU-based Linux packages. GNU AWK has been maintained by Arnold Robbins since 1994. Brian Kernighan's nawk source was first released in 1993 unpublicized, publicly since the late 1990s.
AWK was preceded by sed. Both were designed for text processing, they share the line-oriented, data-driven paradigm, are suited to writing one-liner programs, due to the implicit main loop and current line variables. The power and terseness of early AWK programs – notably the powerful regular expression handling and conciseness due to implicit variables, which facilitate one-liners – together with the limitations of AWK at the time, were important inspirations for the Perl language. In the 1990s, Perl became popular, competing with AWK in the niche of Unix text-processing languages. AWK reads the input a line at a time. A line is scanned for each pattern in the program, for each pattern that matches, the associated action is executed. An AWK program is a series of pattern action pairs, written as: where condition is an expression and action is a series of commands; the input is split into records, where by default records are separated by newline characters so that the input is split into lines.
The program tests each record against each of the conditions in turn, executes the action for each expression, true. Either the condition or the action may be omitted; the condition defaults to matching every record. The default action is to print the record; this is the same pattern-action structure as sed. In addition to a simple AWK expression, such as foo == 1 or /^foo/, the condition can be BEGIN or END causing the action to be executed before or after all records have been read, or pattern1, pattern2 which matches the range of records starting with a record that matches pattern1 up to and including the record that matches pattern2 before again trying to match against pattern1 on future lines. In addition to normal arithmetic and logical operators, AWK expressions include the tilde operator, ~, which matches a regular expression against a string; as handy syntactic sugar, /regexp/ without using the tilde operator matches against the current record. This syntax of using slashes as delimiters for regular expressions was subsequently adopted by Perl and ECMAScript, is now common.
The tilde operator was adopted by Perl. AWK commands are the statements. AWK commands can include function calls, variable assignments, calculations, or any combination thereof. AWK contains built-in support for many functions; some flavors support the inclusion of dynamically linked libraries, which can provide more functions. The print command is used to output text; the output text is always terminated with a predefined string called the output record separator whose default value is a newline. The simplest form of this command is: print. In AWK, records are broken down into fields, these can be displayed separately: print $1 Displays the first field of the current record print $1, $3 Displays the first and third fields of the current record, separated by a predefined string called the output field separator whose default value is a single space characterAlthough these fields may bear resemblance to variables, they actua

Princess Kalani Ahumanu i Kaliko o Iwi Kauhipua o Kīnaʻu known as Elizabeth Kīnaʻu was Kuhina Nui of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi as Kaʻahumanu II, Queen regent and Dowager Queen. Her father was King Kamehameha her mother was Kalākua Kaheiheimālie, she was born in 1805 on the island of Oʻahu at Waikiki. She was given in hānai to her stepmother Peleuli and her second husband Kawelookalani, her father's half-brother. Peleuli named her Kīnaʻu after her son Kahōʻanokū Kīnaʻu and took her back to the island of Hawaiʻi after Kamehameha moved his capital back to Kailua-Kona. Kīnaʻu was first married to her half-brother Liholiho who ascended in 1819 as King Kamehameha II. In 1824, quite young, she became Dowager Queen when Kamehameha II died in London together with his favorite wife Queen Kamāmalu, her second husband was Kahalaiʻa Luanuʻu, a grandson of Kamehameha I. She had two children, one, adopted by another high-ranking chiefly family and the other a son who perished along with his father in the whooping cough epidemic of 1826.
Her third husband was Mataio Kekūanāoʻa, from 1827. Queen Kaʻahumanu was furious over their union because of his inferior rank and her wish that she married Kamehameha III in accordance with their father's wish that his children by Keōpūolani would continue his line with his children by Kaheiheimālie. Kekūanāoʻa was governor of Oʻahu. To him she bore four sons: David Kamehameha, Moses Kekūāiwa, Lot Kapuāiwa, Alexander Liholiho, one daughter Victoria Kamāmalu, she became the Kuhina Nui styled as Kaʻahumanu II June 1832, when Queen Kaʻahumanu died. She acted as the regent for her brother Kauikeaouli when he became King Kamehameha III, from June 5, 1832, to March 15, 1833, she ruled with him until her death. She was responsible for enforcing Hawaiʻi's first penal code, proclaimed by the king in 1835, she adopted Protestant Christianity like many of the chiefesses. She persecuted many of the Catholic missionaries and tried to expel the French Jesuit priests, which would lead into diplomatic troubles with France.
During the early years of Kamehameha III, he was seen to be indifferent to his duties as king and spend his time pursuing leisure instead of ruling, according to the missionaries. She felt she had to take full duty of a monarch, but soon became disheartened and at length came to Mrs. Judd, the wife of Gerrit P. Judd, said: "I am in sore straits and heavy hearted, I have come to tell you my thought. I can not bear this burden any longer. I wish to throw away my rank and title and responsibility together, bring my family here, live with you. Mrs. Judd referred her to the story of Esther, pointed out to her that she must be strong and accept the responsibility of Regent of the nation for the sake of her people. Kīnaʻu and Kamehameha III argued over government policies. Kīnaʻu favored the policies recommended by the missionaries and was not as tolerant of other religions as her predecessor, Kaʻahumanu, she strengthened the land tenure of the Crown Lands by official proclamation. Kamehameha III resented the lessened power of the king who no longer had sole power to give and take land at will.
He wanted the old ways for his people. They resolved their differences and formed a new government. Now there was a King, a Kuhina Nui, a Counsel of Chiefs, her two sons from her third husband who had survived to adulthood ascended as kings of Hawaiʻi: the younger Alexander Liholiho as Kamehameha IV and Lot Kapuāiwa as Kamehameha V. Her only daughter Victoria Kamāmalu became Kuhina Nui as Kaʻahumanu IV, her widower Mataio Kekūanāoʻa became Kuhina Nui from 1863 until August 24, 1864, the last holder of that position when it was dissolved by the 1864 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. Kaʻahumanu II died of the mumps at Honolulu, Oʻahu on April 4, 1839, her funeral was held on July 7 at Kawaiahaʻo Church and she was buried in the Pohukaina Mausoleum on the grounds of ʻIolani Palace. British Admiral Edward Belcher described her funeral in detail, her remains were transported along with those of other royals in a midnight torchlight procession on October 30, 1865, to the newly constructed Mauna ʻAla Royal Mausoleum up in the Nuʻuanu Valley.
